Happy Holidays! The Audio Ecotone – Dec. 20, 2024

Fri, 12/20/2024 - 12:03am | Eddy Owt

lab_santa.jpg

Yes, it's that time of year when everyone and their grandma (at least those who have radio shows) play all of their favorite Christmas songs. Here at the Audio Ecotone Laboratories, we are not immune from celebrating the annual solstice-adjacent holidays, but we do things differently — so no Mariah, no "Santa Baby" and, for gawd's sake, no "Wonderful Christmastime"! Instead our holiday audio fruitcake is studded with morsels from Sufjan Stevens, Shemekia Copeland, Low, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Duke Ellington, BeauSoleil, and more surprises. Listen live on Friday, Dec. 20, at 3:00 pm on KDRT 95.7 FM or online at KDRT.org.

noah Cole.jpeg

When a young guitarist with a passion for musical excellence walks into the room, you can feel the energy shift. His idols are not your typical mainstream names, but rather the likes of the innovative Blake Mills, the soulful Adrianne Lenker, and the prodigious Julian Lage. As he settles in for our interview, it's clear this will be no ordinary conversation. Noah Cole (pictured), hailing from the vibrant music scene of Sacramento, is a force to be reckoned with. Noah showcases his talents as a guitarist in various bands, including the renowned Rowan McQuire and the dynamic Nat Leftkoff, and pays it forward as a guitar instructor.

His dedication to his craft is palpable. We are treated to a live performance, where he flawlessly demonstrates his fingerpicking techniques, and for the first time we are graced with his vocal abilities as a solo artist. This hour of pure musical magic will leave you wanting more. Sit back, relax, and let the words and music of Noah Cole whisk you away on a journey of sound and emotion. This is not just an interview, it's an experience. Let's dive in and discover the depth of talent and passion within this rising star.
